Authorities of Biman Bangladesh Airlines fined a passenger of a newly purchased Boeing Tk 7.47 lakh for smashing the LCD monitor attached to his seat on Sunday. The passenger, a youth, was flying to Bangladesh from London with his father, said a press release yesterday. Quoting cabin crew members, a Biman official said the youth punched the 10 inch monitor several times smashing it while watching a movie. As the aircraft landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 12:50pm, Biman's security officials nabbed the passenger for legal procedure. However, the issue was settled after his father paid Biman the fine.
